Zimbabwean-American actress - Danai Gurira Set To Play Tupac’s Mom In ‘All Eyez On Me’ Film

Danai Gurira just landed *yet* another amazing new gig!!

Our African Queen has been cast as Afeni Shakur, the mother of Tupac Shakur, in the biopic All Eyez on Me.


 According to Deadline: 
The film covers Tupac’s rise to stardom as a hip hop artist and actor, as well as his imprisonment and prolific, controversial stint at Death Row Records, where he was steeped in the East coast/West coast rap war. It took a long time for this film to make it to the start line. But the timing seems fortuitous after the out-sized grosses of another hip hop origin story, Straight Outta Compton.
